The Nevada city sensation.

NEVADA CRY June Harry
Dassonville aud his wife were to-
day arrested for the murder of
Phil Richards He is in jail, she
being out on $4,000 bail. Captain
i. s. Richards, of Grass Valley
the brother to whom the deceased
banker made an ante mOrtem state
ment of the crime, is the complain
ing witness. Dassonville has not
yet denied the assault and the ex-
pectation is he will set up a defense
that Richards invaded the sancity
of his home circle. He indignant
~ denies that there was any at
tempt to black mail Richards. Das-
sonville has heretofore borne good
reputation for peace and quietne Sc,
but his wife has not been held in
esteem by the better class of So
ciety. The report that James Will
liams. brother-in-law to Dassonville
and originally arrested for compile
ity in the crime. had attempted to
cut his throat, grew out of the fact
that he got drunk and threatened
to kill himself. The impression
prevails that he had no hand in
the killing Of Richards.

some weeks ago to the Paso Robles

Remains of q Volcano.

A Middletown, Conn.,, letter Gays: The re-
cent discovery Of the remains Of q volcano
near Mount Lamentation, the highest peak In
the chain OF Merlden hills, has excited the
keenest interest in scientific circles. II has
furnished a new key to the geological history
of the Connecticut valley. The discovery was
made by Prof w. N. Davis, Of Harvard uni
versity. lie has been engaged in making an
exhaustive study OF the trap-rock OF this state,
and he made his happy discovery Of volcanic
ruins while searching for an entirely different
class Of geological phenomena
Mount Lamentaton has been visited by
large numbers Of people during the past
weeks. The various scientific associations OF
the state, and several biologists OF national
repute, have carefully examined the interest
ing curiosity. No volcanic cone or crater Is
still visible, but the phenomena Of the place
clearly indicate that In the trlaseic age violent
explosive eruptions OF regular volcanic type
were frequent. Biologists have long known
that the trap-rock Of the Connecticut valley
solidiied. This liquid mass sometimes solidi-
fed In assures In the earth and sometimes
overlooked the surface like lava streams, and
was subsequently covered up by strata OF sand
stone.
Prof. Davis has discovered what Is tcchni-
cally known as an ash-bed. II Is deposit
formed when molten lava is thrown high into
the air by violent explosions and comes down
In confused mass coarse and fine. In the
triasslc period when these eruptlons occurred
there must have been regular cones and craters
OF the usual type but these have all been eff
fs"ed. II is very probable that other ash-beds
may exist In the range OF Merlden hills The
geological history OF this region has always af.
forded a rich field for scientific research, and
the recent volcanic discovery has given Q
greater scientific boom to It

The Gold Bar Dodge.

For nearly six months, says The New YORK
Commercial advertiser, the four copper bars
washed with bronze, which Capt. Benjamin
Richardson, the wealthy and eccentric Harlem
real estate owner, brought triumphantly to the
United States assay office under the impress
sion that they were gold and worth about SlO,'
900 each, and have been lying on top of the
big safe in the receiving room. They were OF
no account as bullion and we're obstacles In
the office, and now they are gone. Yesterday
the eccentric captain, who ever since has been
ashamed to acknowledge how he was swim
died, visited the office and took them away.
The story, which was published exclusively
In this newspaper, created considerable interest
at the time. Capt. Richardson received call
in the early evening from two men, one Of whom
was an Indian, the other pretended western
miner. They brought with them the worthless
bars which they said were rough gold obtained
by them from mysterious western mine. The
rogues estimated the value Of the metal to be
worth about $40 900, but as they were ignorant
Of the ways Of the city they had brought them,
they said, to the captain, to whom they had
been directed by an old friend Of his, In
hopes that he would buy tho bars or at least
make substantial advance until the bars
could be melted and valued at the assay Office
The captain In younger days had been miner
In California and the western territories, and
believed himself something OF Judge Of the
precious metals. He took good look at the
fraudulent bars, pronounced them genuine, and
advanced 81, 900 to the two swindlers On the
following morning he carried them to the as
say office, deposited them in the usual way,
and took his departure. The slightest test
made by the assayers at once developed the
fact that the bars did not contain a CENTS
worth OF gold and that the yellow covering
was simply bronze wash. Captain Richard.
son only knew Of the swindle that had been
perpetrated on him as he read the story that
evening He called at the assay office on the
succeeding morning, verified the fact that he
had been dupcd and hurried of to find the
miner and the Indian. But up to the present
moment they have escaped him and the ven
geance that awaited them.
From that day the bars have been waiting
for the owner to claim them, but the captains
dread OF rldicule has been so great that he
would not approach the Office where his WORTH
less treasures were stored and pointed out to
the visitor as one Of the currioslties Of the
place. But yesterday the white-haired old
owner, after casting furtive glance about
the place, lowered his head and walked into
the front entrance. He made known the fact
that he had come for his copper bars, but
wanted to know II there was not some way he
could get them out so the reporters would not
see him. He was told that he could drive
around TO the alley In the rear and receive his
freight there. Gladly avaiing himself Of the
chance, his wonderful old one horse shay was
driven TO the rear entrance OF the office and
the four bars were loaded In.

one night. The proprietor was an old span
lard who had n pretty Young daughter, and to
this daughter Foster Immediately made his
addresses. He was successful, and WAS soon
established as son-in-law and manager OF the
ranch. The old Spaniard finally died, and
Foster became the practical owner OF the es-
tate, and was known everywhere as Don Juan
Foster the Don Juan being applied, not only
because OF the Spanish connection be had
made, but because OF the somewhat precipltate
and unusual way In which he had made 1t.
One son was the fruit OF the union between
him and his Spanish bride, aud by and by the
son grew up TO be "a young man. The elder
Foster died, leaving this son sole heir to the
hundrcd-thou acre ranch. He then be-
came one of the richest young men In Call
fornia and the world seemed to be very fair
before him. The mixture In him Of English
and Spanish blood had resulted In q stalwart
frame with the activity and strength OF lion,
aud his face was just swarthy enough, and bis
hair and eyes just black enough TO make hm
a horseman OF ideal appearance. Why should
not such young man with such possessions
be sought after by the most lovely senoritas In
all the landi He was an admitted guest
everywhere among the Spanish arlstocracy OF
California, and 1t was not long I'll IT. was ru.
morcd he was to marry a rich and beautiful
Spanish girl Of Los Angeles. Time went on,
and one day the town OF Los Angeles was
startled from centre to circumference by the
report that young Foster had been shot and
killed by the young lady to whom he was said
to be betrothcd. II was true. He had prom.
ised to marry her and under this promise had
ruined her, and when he had refused 10 make
good his pledges the outraged girl had drawn
a pistol from her bosom and sent bullet
through his brain. Her sister stood bye and
saw the deed done. There was great public
trial which resulted In acquttal. A child was
born to the unhappy girl, she was disgraced
and ostracised forever, and from that day to
this has led life of shame. The terranch
became the object OF a complicated series Of
lawsuits andIl .believe 1t finally passed Into the
hands OF James c. Flood, Of San Francisco.
Its history Is much like that OF many OF the
famous old Spanish ranches Of California, to
which peculiar fatality seems TO have at
tached Itself as we'll as to the entire Spanish
people, by whom they were founded and BY
whom the first rude but romatic elements OF
civilization were established on the Pacific
coast.
